Chapter 1. Introduction

Abstract

As the most abundant polymeric raw material, cellulose has been attractive to the global industry in many aspects over the past decades. Sources of this ubiquitous biopolymer are mentioned, with attention to the special hierarchical organization of wood cellulose. Details of its structure are given, including the molecular structures, hydrogen bond systems, and crystalline structures.

Chapter 2. Platforms for Functionalization of Cellulose

Abstract

The shaping, chemical modification, and functionalization of cellulose are largely depended on the process of dissolution in an efficient solvent. Viscose process as the most important method for production of cellulose-regenerated materials was introduced. The dissolution of cellulose in several other most frequently used eco-friendly solvents was also discussed, including cellulose carbamate, N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, aqueous alkali system, and ionic liquids. These processes provide efficient platforms for development of new regenerated materials and other products based on cellulose.

Chapter 3. Novel Regenerated Cellulosic Materials

Abstract

The regeneration and shaping process for man-made cellulosic materials was introduced. The morphology, structure, properties, and potential applications of the resulting regenerated cellulosic materials were summarized, including cellulose regenerated fibers, cellulose regenerated films, cellulose regenerated beads, cellulose hydrogels, cellulose aerogels, nonwoven membrane, cellulose sponges, ultrathin cellulose fibers or mats, and cellulose-based bioplastics.

Chapter 4. Cellulose-Based Functional and Smart Materials

Abstract

To convert the traditional cellulose material into functional and smart materials, a series of procedures involved modification or functionalization of cellulose have been developed. By integrating nanoparticles or other functional materials, the cellulose-based materials can achieve tailored properties such as electrical conductivity, magnetic properties, photosensitivity, catalytic activity, sensing ability, and other special properties. The fabrication processes, properties, and applications of the recently reported cellulose-based functional materials are summarized in this chapter.

Chapter 5. Nanocellulose-Based Functional Materials

Abstract

Three kinds of nanocelluloses, i.e., cellulose nanocrystals, microfibrillated cellulose, and bacterial nanocellulose, have attracted many attentions over the last decades. The formation, dimension, morphology, and properties of them were introduced in this chapter briefly. Depending on their unique and excellent characteristics, these nanocelluloses have been employed as raw materials to produce various novel functional materials, including films, membranes, hydrogels, aerogels, microcapsules, and nanocomposites, by using different fabrication approaches. Their properties and potential application were also discussed comprehensively.
